I forgot to mention r_overBrightBits, which is very powerful.

I like using ambientscale. I won't lose any sleep if it stays disabled.

I have two general questions for players who have edited their graphics settings to optimize visibility:

What values of r_gamma and r_overBrightBits do you use?
Did you also edit your monitor settings & GFX card driver settings?

[Luigiz]

r_gamma 2. Normal r_overBrightBits. 50 Brightness in monitor , kinda dark so doesn't hurt eyes when not playing. Didn't change card driver settings.

I've just read Andy's post where he explained his thoughts on the disabling of r_fullbright and r_ambientscale cvars (cheat cvars). He thought players were leaving the game because they were unable to see their enemies in certain maps. I have a solution and I am able to set cheat cvars with the mod. I propose that the community makes a list of cvars they would like to have enabled, I would also like to hear objections against the allowance of the cvars mentioned.

If many people object against some cvars, the server can send a list of cvars that clients cannot use, this way server owners can still choose to disable some cvars.

Here's the list for now:

r_fullbright
r_ambientscale

I think r_lightmap is too powerful to enable, making your map all white when using certain video settings.

Discuss!

it didnt kill ctf, clans like as hs and fr teams are still around ofc its not as active as before but its not our fault all the ctf R|a owners left since mt, they left = R|a died = CTF died for u

[dvz]

in this case its not kids, all the "ctf owners" were quite mature but yeah most cant hack anymore or ppl wont let them

lmao @ CTF, who cares if it died because of anti-cheat... it's their own fault for leaving then.

As your own thread is closed (why?), I will reply here.

I used the fullbright and ambientscale commands for myself while playing CTF, so I knew their use. Thanks for you appreciation.

Anyway, obviously you are right: MT "killed" the CTF gametype. My analysis of the problem would be that CTF was full of hackers -- which I experienced during my own gameplay in scrims/wars -- and that anticheat made them stop playing. I don't think it were just these few disabled CVARs that made them stop playing. Even my own clan had three hackers (possibly even more), who I'd rather not name, while they were and are still accepted by the community as hack-free players.

CTF has been as much as alive as when R|a died. In the past A*s used to play vs R|a only and then R|a died after MT came and A*s became in my eyes 2 hard to beat. Later on we've played vs hs maybe 30 times with MT and they've won maybe 5 times.

In my eyes the big reason CTF died, is because A*s was too strong after MT. Others culdn't abuse 333 and skins anymore while there wasn't a lot of change in A*s.
I'm not trying to say A*s is a god of a clan, but it's a fact that's too hard 2 beat in CTF and after clans try like 10 times and keep losing within 15 mins they give up.

Also a lot of players gave up leading a clan, so people to tend to play CTF and they do still like it, but they can't be arsed to make a clan or give it a try.
And I guess the reason Andeh was called back, is because he CAN lead but he went all negative on the anticheat blocking too many commands. But in my eyes this is bullshit because it's not only you who's becoming worse. Everybody becomes equal no bullshit.

And there was a time when CTF was as dead as this, and then suddenly tim2win came back and made it become active again. And so goes for BTH who kept it active for a while. CTF has many loyal players but it needs some1 who's guta be in a server 24/7 to start everything up.
